Yeah, I just bought it. It's the most logical choice after you realize the extended battery is not all that convenient. Two original batteries with a charger for future batteries is the best option, IMO. That way you always have a fully charged spare. That will get anyone through a full day of heavy use. If not, just get another standard battery. The extended battery is not the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Did you buy a charging dock with it? If yes, could you point me to where you got it? I'm looking for stock second battery + charging dock for a GSM Galaxy Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I ordered that one last week. I can't tell from the pictures---does the phone have to rest on the back cover to stay upright, or could that be closed and the phone still stand?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I've owned similar Samsung chargers and all have held the phone by itself (Nexus S for example). Don't know why this one would be suddenly different. I think they just chose a poor photo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the phone is held by the bottom part, the flap behind is just the battery lid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waiaung1:
Very happy with the extended 2000mah battery after a little less than a week of use.

Everything stock, no root. Without wifi, it would be about 5 hours
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alvespt:
hi, is this legit?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
If anyone cares my battery/phone stopped acting weird (it thought it was charging when it wasn't). Been through a few cycles of normalcy now. Batt life is grand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alvespt:
is this battery still worth it or should we expect samsung to release a bigger on in the next month?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Go for it. Worth every single pence/cent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Nice! I am getting almost the same screen on time, also stock. I was at about 5h 47m with 5% left. This battery rocks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Anyone selling their official extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
They should've shipped 'em with this battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
I went with the slim spare battery and a external charger... I like the slim profile with the standard battery door... I rather charge my batteries with a external charger so I don't damage the USB port under the phone! Oh and its also a stand for the phone!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellesshoo:
Any idea if 1) can the extended battery charge in that dock and if so 2) can you also close the lid with on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
yes, you can charge the extended battery and also close the lid, but not fully.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have extra batteries now for both my nexus s and GNex, but in practice I never actually use them. With almost 6 hours of screen on time with the 2000mAh, I doubt I will ever remember I have the extra slim one. I suppose it's nice knowing it's there.

Truthfully it's a pain in the ass to remember to carry the extra around, even more of a pain in the ass to carry it at all if I don't happen to be using my messenger bag or backpack that day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Harboe:
I think the phone feels better after getting this battery and I love the fact that the camera doesn't lie on the camera anymore. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deltadood24:
So is the 2100 mah extended battery from verizon just as good? Cuz I just got my nexus yesterday and this stock battery is worse than the tbolt and that is horrendous! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
The LTE and GSM variants of Galaxy Nexus use different batteries, they're not cross-compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
lets keep this thread on topic, and discuss about the GSM version only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deltadood24:
So the genuine one that this thread is about is compatible with both? Sorry for the "off topic" post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
No, this thread's about the one for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, nothing to do with the LTE/Verizon model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bryant_16:
Anyone who bought this 2000mah battery can share the packaging that comes with it? Is there a box that contains the battery and the casing in it? Or just plastics wrapping it?

How to know whether is official? I bought from shimshop in ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
If NFC works, it's genuine...or a convincing fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mapleleafz06:
no box, just plastic wrapping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
As has already been stated, there's no retail packaging - the batteries aren't sold separately anywhere, they come with the handset when you buy it in Korea.

Mugen's batteries support NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgbc:
The battery and back cover come in plastic sleeves and are wrapped in bubble wrap, mailed out in a plastic envelope, the ebay ad clearly states the following: "The retail package is NOT included from SAMSUNG Electronics." NFC works, battery life is as expected better than stock.

The external battery charger is quite inexpensive and doubles as a stand, I put a few pictures here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22586846&postcount=4

Edit: here is a picture of the battery and back cover: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22759877&postcount=328
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
if you must have the box, go for the 1750mAh, the 2000mAh will never have the box unless it is officially released, so far all stock are from korea, even some sellers are selling it from hong kong, but they also got these from korea.

They are all removed from retail box sets and bought direct from korea customer service center.

kms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgear356:
guys shimshop has decreased the price to 39.99 USD for the 2000mah + cover package.

If you have ordered recently few days, try messaging him. He refunded me the balance of 8 bucks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
there's too many competition on ebay, and all the sellers are from korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
I just ordered one, i wonder if my casemate 'barely there' case will fit or if i'll need to order a new case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
probably won't fit on the barely there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMarvelous:
Got mine about a week ago. Have noticed better battery life. It does seem to just hold its charge better, which is good.

I actively have to try and kill the battery before I go to bed so I dont get caught in the morning with like 35% and no charger. Hehe, 1st world problems I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plasticdarlow:
Just got mine today. Like many others have said, feels great in the hand. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
i also got this from shimshop.

just enough extra juice to get me through a boring 14hr shift at work with a little left when i get home. im happy :)

makes the phone feel a lot nicer in hand with no case.

good customer service too. winner :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
So it's OEM but not sold in authorized retail stores?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myfinalheaven:
so how many cycles of 100% to 0 do you think it'll take to become regular?

I have 2 of these now for super longevity. Need to cycle them both..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I bought this battery and for 2 weeks it was good. Now it drops from 100 to 90 percent in about 5 minutes. I have fully depleted the battery and fully charged again. I am now using my original battery as the drain on the extended battery was ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
Are you sure it is the battery and not some app that is causing the issue with high battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Lemme know if any of you GSM G Nex owners in So Cal wants to buy my extended battery. I sold my phone and posted up the battery for sale in the marketplace: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524994
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
Here is my 2000mAh battery after 3 charging cycles:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Backslash10:
My battery life worked pretty good to note I don't turn on GPS or mobile data. And this was during the trip I went to megacon only had to charge it once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeekyfied:
So does anyone have a positive experience from changing from a 1750 to a 2000 battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Most people in this thread, myself included.

Most people not only see an improvement in battery life but also feel the handsets feels better in the hand with the extended cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arthurbrownleeiv:
Love mine. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Anyone selling theirs, let me know :)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
Me.

That extra 10% - 15% has saved my butt while in the field on numerous occasions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcguinness89:
well i just got the thing about 3 hours ago so i couldnt tell you guys yet lol.. also it needs to go through a couple cycles in order to compare it to the original. i calculated about a 14% battery increase over the other one but we'll see
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I ordered on the 23rd and still haven't gotten it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ijpedowitz:
I just got the two I ordered, and I am noticing the battery life to be worse than the standard battery. Is this because I need to calibrate it somehow? Is there a preferred method?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcguinness89:
True. Seems to be that way for me too.. But i think it's because i'm on the first charge. You should really give it like 4 cycles before making assumptions, I remember my GNex being horrible with the battery life when i first got it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
root method:

- charge to 100%

- install https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

- hit delete batterystats

- fully drain phone

- do a full, uninterrupted charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I just received my extended battery today when I finished work. I love the thickness of it... not much bigger than standard battery but new case feels alot better.

Charging it now, so hopefully after a couple of charges I will notice some good results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
The battery holds 14% more juice, so at best, 14% longer battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drl1954:
Exactly. Whatever you have been getting with the 1750 battery, add 14%. I have been using the extended battery for a week and that is my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
Just ordered mine. I like the idea of it being a little thicker in the back. This thing is uncomfortably thin at times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I think around 10mm thick and slightly rounded would be perfect for me. I remember holding the Droid RAZR and thinking it felt way too thin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richard_rama:
Dang! It's out of stock. I think i will just order the battery without cover.. Am using the casemate pop casing which basically covers the back of the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Did anyone tried placing hard case on the phone with extended battery but without the battery cover? Will this work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Anyone can please check the EMS tracking from this website?

http://service.epost.go.kr/iservice/ems/ems_eng.jsp

Choose "International registered item" and fill in the tracking number.

Mine got stuck, see this from today status:

The last status "Handed over to Air carrier" has no date and time :(

And I don't understand what does INCHEON mean.

About a week now got stuck like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
bought mine on 12/26, received it on 01/04.

I like the new feel of it, dont know why Samsung didnt just include a 2000mah and this cover in the first place instead of the prior. It feels much better to hold

Will be calibrating next couple days
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philipdeane:
Hi, do any of you guys who purchased this Extended Battery + Back Cover have the official Sammy Vehicle Dock kit? Does it still fit okay?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Ordered today, don't mind waiting seeing as it's the only place advertising it at present. £35 from the US isn't a bad deal IMO

I take it they come in OEM Samsung packaging?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badman0099:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
It's been a good experience, i'm happy with it. I've noticed that it still drains like the stock battery but seems to drain a lot slower when you get below 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Does anyone know if the CaseMate Pop! case (revised version) works good with this battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
Looking for some cases that will work with this version ? any suggestions ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Hi, i'll like to buy this battery bundle much... where can i get a competitive price, order from a site thats not ebay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you can only buy it from ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
Negri electronics has it listed. Are they out of stock? Sorry I can't check right now

Enviado desde mi GT-I5700 usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Thank You! Yes, they have it. $53. Is there a coupon discount code to lower the price a little??? Ebay is around $40 right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HashTagHell:
Probably wouldn't matter much. Negri charges shipping on anything under $200.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Ordered..., it should arrive in Venezuela March 29th. My brother will go vacations to California and Las Vegas, so he should bring my GSM ext Bat and 3 cases for my Galaxy Nexus. I don't plan on screen protector...

Battery was really bugging me. I constantly have to recharge it around twice a day ... if not more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Battery has been shipped about an hour ago, talking about fast?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Battery arrived yesterday at my Pasadena address

Flaash. Better be sip was $12
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayoubi:
this is awesome, how much will it improve from 1750mah battery to 2000mah? like 15%?

nvm i found out. but damn $40 bucks for this battery, 20 bucks for a case, and now i'm going to buy a screen protector for $15 bucks.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
True but then you ll have peace of mind and one drop and its already worth it. And with all the scratches people talk about the protector also very worth it. Your resale value will make up for those extra goodies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hwpeter:
I bought nexus in Korea, It comes with two battery: 1750 + 2000
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cloney:
just dropped $40 to get this battery... how long has the ship time to the east coast (NY) been?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
1.5 weeks... USPS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayoubi:
SMART MAN. thats why i buy them :}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
1.5 weeks? Ordering it in negri electronics?

I'm traveling to NY in a couple of weeks and I'm planning on buying them a Gnex + extended battery, but I'm only staying for a week. I guess I'll have to order them with a week in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttabbal:
Can someone who has this battery measure the thickness of the battery itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fortesquieu:
Got this battery today! Pretty impressed with the weight and look on the phone.

Quick note, I ordered on 03/20 NIGHT, and got it on 03/27, so roughly 6 days for shipping to west coast of Canada.

Other than the battery and cover, shimshop also threw in some screen protectors too, neat touch, even though i'm not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Damn I'm into my third week of ordering from shimshop and still haven't received it yet. I guess I will receive it sometime this week or early next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LSUtigers03:
Has anyone used the standard battery with the extended battery back? I would use the extended battery as my main battery but on the rare days where I'm away from a charger all day I would bring my standard battery as a backup and I was wondering if I would have to worry about the battery moving too much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheeze[iT]:
If anything take like a dollar and fold it in half or thirds to fix the gap maybe? I plan on doing to same and will probably go this route if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LSUtigers03:
Seems like an easy fix. I don't usually carry cash but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get a dollar from someone I'm with if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
Android Central made a review of the GSM extended battery and they confirmed both batteries will fit just fine with the new battery door. It won't feel loose or flimsy.

Can't search that source link right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LSUtigers03:
Awesome thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Can anyone confirm this is original ?

The battery looks a bit suspicious. Is the nfc antenna supposed to show?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Antenna? What antenna?

The NFC function of the battery merely enables the phone to use, well, NFC. The transmission antennae are in the phone itself.

I'm not sure what you are asking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennv17:
Bought one with the cover from shimshop last night, obviously I won't see it for a while but I'm hoping it'll be 1-2 weeks rather than 2-3. Good to know the original will fit under the extended cover too, since I was probably just going to keep the original in my wallet or car for if/when I need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
did you see the link? there is a picture in the description from the back:

http://cl.ly/1H0Q46082q443J0U3D2D

and you're kinda wrong buddy. the nfc circuit is inside the phone. the battery just has the antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
It probably just shows the antenna to prove that it has it. The battery itself looks legit though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdrr00:
anyone using this battery/cover with the REARTH RINGKE slim case? also, can you use the original back cover with the extended battery?

also, how does the gsm with extended battery compare to the regular verizon lte thickness?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Best buy i could ever make for my Gnex. I'm super happy 100% satisfied with this new battery compared with the standard...

I used it in my Hawaii,Miami,Dallas,NYC,Los Angeles trip.

I was about a month away!!! Battery was good enough to make me happy. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas.scott:
I just got mine an hour ago .. but I'm already a fan of the weight that it added. It actually makes the phone feel more like the high end phone that it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I can't wait for mine to get here... *dances around* eeeeeeee heeehee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njd15:
I'm about to order mine..but for now I'm using 4 original batteries....and charging them using the battery charger made for the galaxy nexus from Samsung..is pretty sweet but I would like extended batts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Why are the GSM battery much $$ than the CDMA one :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
imported from south korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pas21:
I bought mine from Expansys USA. It was definitely more than the VZW version but since fewer people have the GSM version, guess it was to be expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
many countries are starting to stock this battery and cover officially, and it's much cheaper now.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

actually more people have the gsm version, the verizon version is US only, GSM version is worldwide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Where can I buy a cheaper one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
Just ordered mine. I've gotta see how everyone keeps saying it feels better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Got mine yesterday and so far so good. The additional thickness is minor and doesn't other me since I have it in the Diztronic TPU case BUT the extra weight is going to take some getting used to and is noticeable to me. I didn't think I'd notice it but I do - it feels more like an iPhone 4 in the hand now than a GN.

14% of extra battery is better than 0% extra. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcguinness89:
Deff feels better in the hand but does add a little weight which I dont mind at all.. this must be why the Koreans received this battery for free from Samsung with their purchase of the phone.

I am also interested if this will fit in the Samsung car dock? Specifically the one with the 3 pins... i m guessing it will considering Korea's gnex comes with this 2000mah battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
It means it's "inch"-in its way toward the recipient.

Haha :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
Maybe someone can post some decent quality pictures of the extended battery installed please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
OP already did, see page 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Magic! After I posted the above post, I received the battery today :)

So, that ems tracking means nothing.

About 1 week from Korea to the Netherlands.

Now, it's time to train the battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Mine was the same, Incheon is the port of departure in Korea so after that Korea Post will not have any updates. You have to track at the destination country site - so for me when I tracked on USPS it showed it had arrived at my local post office while the EMS site (showing Korea status) showed Incheon. Just FYI :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Strange... If I read battery info using Battery Monitor Widget, it said 1750 mAH.

App wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
where are you located?

i ordered on the 28th and going by your post, i should be receiving tomorrow? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
the app just sees that you have a nexus and defaults to 1750...it's not pulling from the actual chip in the battery. so just manually enter your proper capacity in the menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sabcik:
I got mine also today. Ordered on December 28 on eBay.

I'm in New York.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Cool thanks a lot! I just got my phone in today and it's unprotected. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Wonder how everyone is getting theirs so quick. I ordered on the 23rd, still nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I got lucky. Lol. Believe me when I say disregard all the negative threads about this phone. I'm coming from the galaxy s2 and this runs circles around it. I have never been more happy with a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Same on the cdma extended battery. You lose the curve ...not that noticeable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Who did you order through? Mine is through shimshop.

Checking througg usps gives me nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Usps reports everything with a delay. Mine was also delivered through them but I got it in two days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tedmm:
Ordered mine Dec 27 from shimshop, and it just got delivered today. I'll take some pictures when I get home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Just wanted to give an early review of performance with this battery and state that I am very pleased. Managed to get a run of 36 hours with over 5 hours screen time yesterday which I was really impressed with. Still only cycled a handful of times, can only lust at the expected battery life in a fortnights time.

Previously reaching 4 hours screen time was a reason to be cheerful, but 4 hours of screen time comes easily now, and I've still got approximately 30% of battery to go!

Recommend it to anyone wanting that little bit extra juice without having to worry about charging/swapping out the battery.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Mine is now marked as dispatched, looking forward to receiving it soon (ordered on the 5th)
